Prusa MK3 clone axis x issue
January 01, 2021 10:59PM
Hi,

I have spend hours trying to find info, but am out of ideas.
I have bought an i3 MK3 clone called P802QR2 (product data) a long time ago.
The board was never working properly, so a couple of years ago i bought a new board "EinsyRambo 1.1a Mainboard For Reprap Prusa i3 MK3 With 4 TMC2130 SPI 4 Mosfet + 2004 LCD Display +3D Printer z-probe Touch"

I have now gotten back into it and followed this tutorial to build my own version of the firmware, currently 3.9.2-3524

The problem I now have is that the wizard fails when checking the X axis with "Axis length, Axis X".
I have been playing around with it, but just cannot get it sorted our. Nothing is touching, everything is clean and lubricated and running smooth.

would be great if someone could help me out.

I just noticed that my belt tension is totally off. Can that be the cause?

It is supposed to be 240-300.
I have tried with a lot of tension and not so much tension on mine and the values are from 81 - 104.

If it does affect the result of self-test, can this be disabled in the firmware?
If so, what would I need to comment out?
